Nine reasons we love our cloth diapers:1. Cost! We've already bought all the diapers we'll need for twins until they're potty trained. And at about 25¢ a diaper for disposables, we'll break even well before that.2. Environment. We went from a family of 2 to a family of 4 without increasing our garbage output. That's awesome.3. No Diaper Rash. Not once has either baby gotten a diaper rash. In the 2.5 weeks they were in disposables after their birth, they had rashes so badly they bled. Switched to cloth and the next day the rashes were gone.4. We never run out of diapers. No midnight runs to the store. No extra diapers they outgrow mid-pack.5. No leaks. We used to change outfits and sheets with every diaper change. Now we just change the diapers.6. They can last all night.Some of my mom friends complain that even with 2 disposables on their kids they still can't make it through the night without leaking. My boys sleep 10 hours at least and never leak. Just added an extra insert and they are good all night.7. No creepy gel/crystal/chemicals. I know exactly what's going next to their most sensitive parts.8. They are cute as heck. I love the bright colors and they look adorable.9. I can feel good that I am setting a good example for my kids. I want them to know how important it is to reduce waste, to limit chemical exposure, to practice what you preach. People think we're nuts cloth diapering twins, but I can't imagine trowing countless thousands of anything into the trash, times two. And my boys will grow up seeing that.
